THE BATMAN: DC Fan Decides To Miss Birth Of His Child To Watch The Movie In Effort To Avoid Spoilers

@OptimusCrime - blaming batman is just an excuse. You can tell its more than just trying to avoid spoilers. Maybe something rocky is going on with their relationship.....

But imagine telling ur child this story later on in life, u prob wont get anything on fathers day lol

@bkmeijer - any dude terrified of spoilers to this degree is probably also chronically online,so he's probably not going to be able to stay off of social media for more than a few hours no matter what

@Arthorious - Exactly. I was there from start to finish for the birth of both of my daughters and the only time I took my phone out of my pocket was to take pictures after they were born. I think that if I were sitting there reading spoilers on my phone while my wife was giving birth she would have speared me with her IV rack ;). Seriously, the only times that I left my wife's side during the couple of days that we were at the hospital were to go pick up her parents after the babies were born (they can't drive) and when she sent me down the hall for snacks. I remember every minute of my kids' births from the time we got in the car to go to the hospital to driving everyone home (from there it gets a little hazy as the exhaustion set in). I can't fathom missing any of that for something as (comparatively) worthless as a movie. I'm not even willing to risk my kids' health by going to see Spider-Man NWH and possibly bringing back COVID, much less willing to be late or possibly even miss their birth for a movie (and Spidey is my favorite superhero). Pretty sure if I did that there would truly be NWH for me (see what I did there? Yeah I'm having a clever morning). Anyhow, I hope that this is a fake post and if not all I can say is that there is a special place in hell for someone who would do this and if he's going to wish he was there after his wife gets done with him. But, hey, maybe I'm just being old-fashioned for wanting to actually be physically there for those once in a lifetime events like the births of your children. And if you really worried about "The Batman" spoilers, I've done some research and I think I have a possible solution (as risky as it may sound): don't click on any news articles or videos that have the word "Batman" in the title, and wait 2 months for the damn movie to come out on disk/HBO Max. And you know what you can do in the meantime? Help your wife with the baby. She's going to need all the help she can get, trust me. Okay, I'm done now. Anyone else want to borrow my soapbox? It's all yours ;)

@Razorface1 - I guess we'll know in 12 to 15 years if he ends up shooting up a school Or a acreening of a Batman movie.

Hope not.

@billnye69 - why is he a loser? The chances that the baby comes in those 3 hrs seems unlikely. Due dates are hardly ever accurate. Put your phone on vibrate or better yet bring your wife to the theatre. Life doesn’t stop bc your wife is pregnant.

@billnye69 -
The chances that the baby will be born not only the day of due date but in a span of those 3 hrs seem slim. Why can’t she go with him to the theatre or he can put his phone on vibrate. If the baby was guaranteed to come within those 3 hrs then I can agree with ya. Is he not supposed to work or do anything within the week or 2 the baby “might” come? Seems like a dramatic request to say dude can’t go to the movies and put phone on vibrate.

“ My (25F) husband (28M) and I are expecting a baby. As you may know, there is a new Batman movie releasing on early march. My husband is a big fan of that kind of stuff and wants to see it opening day. The issue is that our estimated due date is exactly on that day. I know that only a fraction of babies are actually born on the exact due day but I have always been very regular on my periods and I have a feeling that I may be one of those cases.
